45 mins or so on beach on Tel Aviv seafront. 17 or 18degrees C and a light inshore breeze made for pleasant run in vest and shorts :)
Boy did I feel last nights effort in my legs today.
Plan was for a longish trip of fun and exploring rather than do x miles or x distance.
Set off from Near langset up Hordren road and Nr Cat Clough to Outer edge down via aircraft wreck to Lord Ed Howard springs then the fun started. Went to Horse Stone Via Horse Stone Spring, Lovely little valley I'd never been to then direct to HS through waist deep heather and ankle shredding burnt stuff. Steep climbing then on to Coldwell Spring again a first as was Hoar clough Spring ( any one worked out the theme of todays run yet) Up to Sheperds and then direct to Barrow and Grinah where I met the first 2 people of the day one was Barry 440, I took them up to the Source of the Derwent sign and one of the L T Plants from there dropped to lower small clough and dinner in the Cabin, after signing in continued down to pick up the track. Followed this down until Broadhead clough then across to Bull Stones Spring. back to OE and returned via route out.
Very rough underfoot and my shins are now very sore (reminder to myself don't wear ankle socks and shorts on long heather bashing trips:rolleyes:)
for the record 17.8 miles 3,700ft 5 hours 15
Hey jodj and MG, I've worked hard last couple of days and earnt a bit of downtime :cool:
You lucky Tup;)
4m to work at 5.00am. 5m home off road, yet another van getting towed up a muck track that goes down into Ripponden (SatNavs!!!!!) Stopped to talk with the driver, who was looking forward to a rollicking from his boss. Set off again, forgetting my Mizuno's aren't that grippy on wet rock and mud, bang, down in one, bloodied knee, and a few sh!t, bugger, arseholes for good measure:eek:
Out with CVFR juniors tonight;)
